Old School Supergirl
I recently came across an old (1980) digest-sized Supergirl comic called The Many Lives of Supergirl. It includes a number of old Superirl stories from various time periods, and none are identified by date--but I'm pretty sure the one I'm talking about here was a 60s or early-70s Supergirl. I'm not a Supergirl fan particularly, but folks on the comic internet have been talking so much about her lately that this story in particular stood out in contrast. It's about Supergirl's introduction to the world, after years spent keeping her super-ness secret from everyone while living her life as orphaned-and-adopted Linda Lee Danvers, and yeah, it's typical Silver Age. But I'm just going to let these images speak for themselves, all right?

Kara's presence was revealed in Action Comics 285, 1962. I have Action Comics Annual featuring Supergirl, which repeats it as part of a 7 part "novel," which includes the stories leading up to the big reveal and after. Here's a site that gives key dates in her life.

Wow, that long ago! (I know it's old when it's older than me!) Thanks for the link :).
